Junction system
This level for Squall includes an extra action: Junction. Using this, Squall can gain an un-dispellable boon, based on the Identity of the character he targets. The boon comes with a counter that decreases by 1 with each Cast he makes. The boon will disappear once the counter reaches 0.

Final Attack
On reaching 1 HP, Squall gains for the rest of the turn, and finishes with a Final Attack that virtually guarantees all players will die. Worry not, though, because there is no downside to dying on the last round.

Actions
At the start of each turn, Squall casts his Draw & Cast ability, immediately followed by a "Draw" action, which casts Boons and Ailments based on the Character he targets. Beware of these, for they can power up Squall considerably!

Revival bonuses
Remember that using one of the three stamps given away at the beginning of the Challenge will resurrect your character once for free! No need to spend s if you don't have to.

Rewards
Rewards for completion are only, along with a frequent drop. The number of Quartz that drop scales up with more players, so it's always an advantage to use a full party.

In a nice twist, the rewards are NOT reduced if you get killed during the fight! Assuming you have enough Phoenix Downs (or are using a Stamp once), it pays to complete the battle.

The ★5 levels get the same material rewards, but the "Legendary" mode gives 50,00 XP! Many people are mentioning this as the greatest opportunity of the year to level up your MP Level.
